↝ LIST OF TERMS ↜

⦁ conscription ⦁ the Surikh law that requires all girls of third rank theurgy and above to enlist to the palace. A conscripted girl only obtains her freedom if she (1) finds a noble male to either act as her patron or to marry her, (2) secures a position under a royal House, or (3) if she passes the Civil Servants Examination and secures employment under the State.

⦁ dhayang ⦁ literally: "palace servant". Refers to a girl who has been summoned to the palace, either to serve in the conscription, or as required by the eugeneic act.

⦁ eugeneic act ⦁ also known as: Eugeneic Coupling. A decree issued at the year 332 pos forma, by Maha Rama Judhistir Ametjas of Surikhand, that all early-blooming girls are to be sent to the palace and later wed to noble men. The practice was introduced in order for such unions to produce children of both noble blood and higher theurgy, whom can later marry into royalty without tainting their Grace, and eventually restore the power of the royal family to what it once was.

⦁ syarong ⦁ the garb commonly worn by Surikh women. Literally a length of dyed, coloured, or otherwise decorated cloth that one ties around the body, and can be fashioned into various styles, either alone or with the use of belts, ribbons, etc.
